I. It Wasn’t an Exam. It Was a State-Orchestrated Violation.

On an unnamed day between 2017 and 2019, a disabled mother and her sons were summoned to a clinic in Grand Turk. They were told it was procedural. It was safeguarding. It was concern.

What followed was a coerced genital inspection:

Conducted under threat
Surrounded by state agents
With police and social workers nodding and watching, and Dr. Antrieve Benjamin presiding over a theatre of humiliation

This wasn’t protection.
This was punishment — in latex gloves.

II. What the Complaint Documents

Three boys, lined up for coerced genital inspection without medical need
One child dragged from under a chair and forcibly examined
Another asked about circumcision status by a non-consensual examiner
A fabricated rationale ("abuse concerns") applied post-facto — with no prior trigger or referral
Psychological trauma, institutional betrayal, and archival silence

No one intervened.

Because everyone was complicit.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because the phrase “for their own good” has become the institutional cloak of abuse.

Because when the state says “safeguarding,” it often means silencing.

Because no one else will name it what it was:

Not welfare
Not medical care
Not oversight

Ritualised degradation masquerading as concern

This document is not for closure.
It is for record.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not allow medical abuse to pass as routine.
We do not redact the names of state-paid participants.

We do not write euphemistically about trauma.
We preserve it — precisely, coldly, and in PDF.

Let the record show:

They assembled nine adults.
They performed a spectacle.
They breached bodily sovereignty under bureaucratic guise.
And now, it’s permanent — because we filed it, not because they apologised.

This wasn’t safeguarding.
This was state-sanctioned voyeurism.

When Law is Ignored and Mothers Are Not

⟡ SWANK Dispatch to the Human Rights Commission ⟡

A Documented Plea from the Architect of Her Own Sovereignty
15 July 2020

The Education They Feared Was Mine

I. The Official Petition They Chose to Dismiss

A mother—Polly Chromatic, lawfully authorised to homeschool by the Department of Education on 26 June 2017—was not persecuted for wrongdoing. She was persecuted for independence.

For three and a half years, she and her children were harassed under the grotesque guise of child “protection” by the Turks and Caicos Department of Social Development (DSD).

Their real grievance?
She refused to relinquish her children to the custody of unqualified, intrusive agents of the state.

And what did the state do in response?

Sanctioned sexual assault on her sons in a public exam room while she vocally objected.
Pushed harmful genital practices, in defiance of NHS medical standards and global human rights norms.
Illegally entered her property—seven times—with no warrant, no cause, and no consequence.
Violated lockdown protocols, endangering her life as a medically vulnerable person with eosinophilic asthma.
Demanded repeated “proof” of legitimacy—educational credentials, financial records, curriculum—submissions which were repeatedly ignored.

II. The Legal Framework They Pretended Not to Know

The following legislation was disregarded with bureaucratic arrogance:

Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015: Mandates delivery of investigation reports to parents. None were ever given.
Education Ordinance 2009: Clearly permits homeschooling when authorised. Her approval was on record.
Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations 2020: Barred non-urgent property entry. They entered anyway—no masks, no distancing, no justification.

Polly’s severe eosinophilic asthma, a medically documented condition, was treated not with caution, but contempt.

III. The Rights They Trampled Without Hesitation

The following rights under the Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 2011 were egregiously violated:

Right to Life – Her condition was ignored, her exposure maximised.
Freedom of Conscience and Religion – Her environmental and health practices were mocked.
Right to Education – Homeschooling was treated as deviance, not lawful choice.
Protection from Discrimination – Based on cultural, medical, and educational identity.
Right to Private and Family Life – Her home became a revolving door for harassment.
Protection from Inhuman Treatment – The state humiliated, endangered, and punished.
Lawful Administrative Action – No hearings. No reports. No process. Just intrusion.

IV. The Timeline of Surveillance, Submission, and Refusal

📅 November 2016 – July 2020:

Repeated curriculum submissions and academic documentation
Verified credentials: BA, MA
Police reports filed and discarded
Warrantless property invasions
State-enabled hospital violations
COVID-19 threats to health and life
A constellation of unanswered, archived, and ignored correspondence

All documented.
All dismissed.
All damning.

An Archive of Breach, Bureaucracy, and Barefaced Harassment
15 July 2020

When the State Refuses to Read Its Own Laws

I. The Harassment Was Sanctioned, but Not Legal

From June 2017 to July 2020, the Department of Social Development (DSD) in Grand Turk launched not a safeguarding mission—but a persecution campaign.

It began with one legally documented decision: a mother homeschooling her children with formal approval.
Approval was granted by Mark Garland on 26 June 2017.

The DSD disregarded this.
They ignored educational law.
They ignored public health law.
They ignored human rights law.

They did not ignore me.
They hunted me.

II. The Abuses Were Not Abstract. They Were Documented.

🩸 Sexual abuse by a government doctor, committed in front of nine adult witnesses, and greenlit by DSD. I objected. They retaliated. My children suffered the unspeakable.

🧬 Outdated and harmful medical practices were imposed, including coercive attempts to retract my sons’ foreskin—directly contradicting NHS medical guidance. This is not “care.” This is cruelty.

📚 Homeschooling was pathologised despite my consistent documentation of curricula, educational activities, and my own Master’s degree.

🏠 Home invasions: fence-breaking, illegal entry, shouting through windows, and coercive hospitalisation—all without legal authority or court orders.

🦠 COVID-19 violations: Social workers trespassed during lockdown, risking the life of a mother with eosinophilic asthma, a clinically vulnerable condition. No masks. No sense. No accountability.

III. Violations of the Constitution & Conscience

The following constitutional rights under the Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 2011 were plainly violated:

Right to Private and Family Life
Right to Protection from Inhuman Treatment
Right to Education
Right to Lawful Administrative Action
Right to Freedom of Expression
Right to Freedom of Conscience and Religion
Protection from Discrimination

They mocked my beliefs.
They harassed my family.
They humiliated my children.
They endangered my life.
They ignored every complaint.

They fabricated unwritten laws—and punished me for not following them.

IV. What They Ignored—and Why It Matters

They ignored my legal homeschool approval.
They ignored my medical vulnerability.
They ignored the constitutional framework they claimed to uphold.
They ignored the psychological damage they inflicted.

When I finally filed a formal petition to the Human Rights Commission, they responded with silence.

Silence is not neutrality.
Silence is complicity.

19 Charges, Zero Reports — The State vs. One Mother With a Voice

📢 SWANK Dispatch: Complaint Filed, System Indicted — A Maladministration Portfolio

🗓️ 1 July 2020

Filed Under: maladministration, forced medical exams, fence dismantling, complaint escalation, racial and philosophical discrimination, policy evasion, procedural breakdown, institutional retraumatisation

“If this is child protection, then tell me: who’s protecting them from you?”
— A Mother with a Legal Mind and an Asthmatic Lung

In this formidable submission to Mrs. Astwood of the Complaints Commission, dated 1 July 2020, Polly Chromatic brings a meticulously itemised formal complaint against the Department of Social Development in Grand Turk.

Not a grievance.
A case file.
Backed by documents, medical records, witness statements, and 19 grounds of maladministration.

Let us recount.

⚖️ I. Charges of Maladministration Include:

Unnecessary delays
Bias
Negligence
Improper procedures
Wrongful decisions
Improper service
Discourtesy
Performance failures
Discrimination (race, sex, age, education, parenting philosophy)
Harassment
Corruption
Abuse of power
Flawed internal processes
No justification for decisions
Lack of humane consideration
Unfairness
Incompetence
Arbitrariness
Mistake of law or fact

No exaggeration.
Each charge is backed by incident.

🔪 II. Physical and Emotional Violations

• May 2017: Her three sons were sexually assaulted on a hospital table by a state-appointed doctor under police and social work supervision.
• August 2019: Her fence was dismantled. Entry forced. No probable cause.
• COVID-19: Social workers entered against Emergency Powers, without masks, with no legal basis, despite her severe asthma.
• September 2019: Social workers hijacked her son’s birthday to interrogate the family over a fabricated vaccination claim.

Not a single one of these incidents was followed up with a report, a review, or an apology.

📚 III. Homeschooling as the Original Sin

Though approved by Mark Garland of the Ministry of Education, her choice to homeschool her children seems to have been the original offence in the eyes of the Department.

What followed was years of:

• Policy shifting
• Approval denial
• Truancy threats
• Investigations without cause

All while she submitted annual curricula, proof of education, and sought transparent cooperation.

🧠 IV. What She Asks for Is Not Vengeance — But Standards

She doesn’t want revenge. She wants:
• Communication
• Appointments
• Reports
• Due process
• Policy compliance
• Respect for her health and boundaries
• Consideration for her children’s dignity

💬 Final Words:

“Your assistance in investigating and resolving this matter would be extremely beneficial for my family as well as the public sphere.”

A citizen wrote a legal document.
A mother documented 3 years of unrelenting injustice.
SWANK now holds the archive.

Dear Attorney General, Please Remind Them I Can Read

⚖️ SWANK Dispatch: When the Law Is Clear but the Social Workers Pretend It Isn’t

🗓️ 15 July 2020

Filed Under: legal noncompliance, homeschool discrimination, child trauma, ignored statutory rights, medical abuse, Attorney General outreach, safeguarding hypocrisy, institutional harassment

“You can’t claim to protect children while ignoring the laws that do.”
— A Mother Who Has Read the Ordinance

To the Honourable Archive,

Three and a half years. That’s how long I endured harassment under the guise of safeguarding. The truth? It began when I chose to homeschool — legally, with full approval. But instead of respect, I received retaliation.

By 15 July 2020, I had exhausted polite routes. My letters to Ashley Adams-Forbes were ignored. My request to the Complaints Commissioner was met with silence. So I wrote to Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles, the Attorney General of the Turks and Caicos Islands — not for favour, but for the enforcement of law.

📚 I. The Legal Requirement They Pretended Not to Know

According to the Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance, 2015, a report must be provided to the parent of any child under investigation — unless a legitimate safety risk or criminal investigation precludes it.

I received nothing.
No report.
No explanation.
No lawful justification.

Just ongoing interference and unexplained intrusions into our private life.

🧠 II. The Consequences Were Not Administrative — They Were Traumatic

• My children were harmed by a doctor at the National Hospital — a violation directly facilitated by the system allegedly meant to protect them.
• They were subjected to emotional and psychological abuse from social work practices.
• They were never told why. And neither was I.

How can one teach one’s children to trust institutions when the institutions refuse to explain themselves?

⚠️ III. Polite Requests Were Ignored. Legal Duties Were Not Fulfilled.

The response to my formal concern was:

🫥 Silence from the Complaints Commissioner
🫥 No report from the Department of Social Development
🫥 Ongoing surveillance without grounds

Is it incompetence? Or just impunity?

⚖️ Final Plea to Power:

“I would also like to ask you to please use your power as Attorney General to ensure that the Department of Social Development follow the Turks and Caicos Law.”

This was not a request for favour.
It was a demand for lawful governance.
Whether or not she responded, the record now stands.
